This week has been busy with regards to the old 9-5, however my crafting life has been a bit slow. I have to be honest and say I've been a little lazy this week. I have a fair coming up in April, only a tiny local one, so I know I should be stocking up so to speak. As it stands I just couldn't motivate myself this weekend. I did find myself sitting on-line and bought loads of beads and some tiny buckets that I think once filled and finished will make excellent Easter gifts. But overall... mass slowness! I have to be honest and say I'm having a perfection moment. I want everything to be absolutely perfect for this fair even if it is small. I am checking every detail 3 times over. If it doesn't get through the check due to a stray stitch or a misplaced eye, it ain't coming with me. Thus I haven't really been up to much. Must put the microscope down and do better things with my time!
Here are a few of the weeks makes.

| Yep... yet more mini monsters |
 |
| Another Owl, just because they are cute! |

| And apparently this guy wins first prize! |
So as you can see, very slow week for me. However I have promised myself I will create more over the next week. Or at least try to. No point in making promises I can't keep right? ;)
Today sees the start of this weeks
Handmade Monday so if you haven't already, get over there and check it out!
Nothing wrong with being a perfectionist and sometimes it's better to take a step back and weigh something up before ploughing on ahead. The attention to detail on these is amazing esp. the stitching on the first pic
ReplyDeleteThat owl is so cute - love him! Hope you're feeling more motivated soon. If I can, I always try to make a start on the next day's tasks before finishing for the day. I find it's easier to get started then (always the hardest part of motivation!).
ReplyDeleteYour mini-monsters are fabulous, so is the owl. Well done on your Liebster Award. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThose mini monsters are very cool!
ReplyDeleteLove the owl and the pig... especially the owl, he is just super. He looks so right for this time of year... I think he should fly over here :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes we are our own worse critic! I;m just the same. The little piggie deserves his prize.
ReplyDeleteThat little pig is soo cute!
ReplyDeleteThe piggie is so sweet. You will be fine at the fair just remember to smile
ReplyDeleteI am in love with little pig.....definitely comes 1st!! xx
ReplyDeleteThey are all so sweet. The little monsters are brilliant. Enjoy your fair.
ReplyDeleteI always promise myself that I will make lots of items this week and I always fail. I have started a diary of what I plan to make and when and I make sure I stick to it or I'm not allowed to make anything else until I have done my daily to-do list!
ReplyDeleteThey are really cute. Sometimes for me making comes in rushes - some weeks I seem to make loads and then others not so much. Don't worry about it - plus your stuff is so beautiful put down the magnifying glass! Mich x
ReplyDeleteLove the pig. Those slow weeks give us energy for the busy weeks.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are they! I love the owl. Good luck with the fair and stop being so self-critical, your work is fab. x
ReplyDeleteLove the little pink piggy :) I'm sure with your lovely work you will do very well at the fair.
ReplyDeletelove your makes, especially the keyrings, they are cute!
ReplyDeleteThose are really cute. I love little plushies. I have too many stuffed animals tho (my kids old ones, I cannot seem to let them go) and am trying to think of some fun way to display them. I wish they were little like the ones you make!
ReplyDeleteAmazing - that owl is too cute to be allowed! x
ReplyDeleteOn the cutability scale I'd say that these are up at the top. Enjoy your fair, don't forget to have fun x

I LOVE everything here!! The owl is soooo cute - and you know what they say: it's quality rather than quantity!
ReplyDeleteA late visitor from Handmade Monday and they are all very cute and beautifully made.
